Who is the composer of 1812 overture




















To represent the French we have the Marseillaise. But at least nobody has suggested replacing the Marseillaise in the with something else. The Soviets, on the other hand, had no compunction about meddling.

So, what did the authorities do? The American conductor Igor Buketoff, son of a Russian Orthodox priest, went a stage further on his s RCA Victrola recording with the New Philharmonia Orchestra, a disc long since deleted but still available from some dealers. It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Tchaikovsky would have approved of these extras, because at one stage during the brief time he thought anything at all about the he had it in mind to compose a work with chorus.

Early recordings of the found that the 16 cannon shots near the end presented an acoustical and logistical snag: the solution was either to leave them out or to put in something that sounded more like a harmless air rifle. By the s, stereo technology and editing procedures made it possible for proper explosive booms to be recorded elsewhere and then integrated into the performance in the studio, a fact of which Karajan takes full advantage on his recording, timing the shots precisely as Tchaikovsky notated them in the score.

But the breakthrough had come a decade earlier with the stereo recording that Antal Dorati made with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, using a muzzle-loaded bronze French cannon of from the US Military Academy at West Point, New York, and, moreover, the bell carillon at Riverside Church.

The cannon shots were recorded — with ambulance crew on hand — in the grounds of West Point, and when the carillon was taped three times on a spring day in New York it provoked a deluge of phone calls from local residents enquiring whether such an unanticipated clamour signified some occurrence of joy or tragedy.

As a performance, too, it remains a yardstick even after almost 60 years. We usually pair the Overture with other Tchaikovsky masterworks. We also love to add in traditional, well-loved patriotic pieces to keep things interesting.

The Cannoneers of the Wasatch join us every year to set off cannons. What could possibly be better than that, you ask? They will be in costumes based on uniforms from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. You have both associations. If a piece of music is flexible enough to serve the needs of the moment, we seem happy to use it. It means different things to different people, even singing it side by side.

Russians are better schooled in their cultural history, especially their classical music. Since then, orchestras all over the U. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
